"My single Aunt Susan was the only one who knew my secret desire to be a girl… the only one I ever confided in… the only one I trusted to understand. So when I go to stay with her every summer, it’s so wonderful that she lets me live out my dream! Aunt Susan takes me clothes shopping and I get to go everywhere with her as a girl… to lunch, to the movies, even to the beach in a pretty bathing suit! Last summer I met a boy I really liked. He’s so cute and I can’t wait to go back, this summer… Aunt Susan said she might even allow me to date him! I’m back home now and school starts in a few days. My parents are annoyed that my hair is so long and they’re making me get it cut tomorrow… my dad said I “look like a damn girl”. I miss my wonderful Aunt Susan so much, I feel like crying. Just one more night in the lovely underwear she bought me before I put it away, get my hair cut and have to go back to being a boy for school. I wish I could tell my parents… but they’d never understand. (sob)"
